Bound (1996)

BOUND is a terrific thriller about a mobster (Joe Pantoliano), his
moll (Jennifer Tilly), and her (!) mistress (Gina Gershon). They
want his money and their seemingly simple scheme leads to a bloody
comedy of errors. Sex, violence, and leather-clad lesbians, it's
all here. First-time filmmakers Larry and Andy Wachowski, who co-
wrote and co-directed, have created a wildly imaginative slice of
pulp fiction. (Think Tarantino meets the Coen Brothers. And wait
till you see their living-room bullet ballet.) All that's required
is accepting Gershon and Tilly in their pseudo-straight roles.
(The Sneering One is more believable than the Squeaky One, but not
by much.) Put your brain on hold and you'll have a blast. (Rated
"R"/108 min.)
